Working title -- Horse and rider coming out of barn.

[George McGovern]

This image is one I took some thirty some years ago with my Nikon FA, whose matrix metering made many a photo better (I never did do so well with the center-weighted metering on my FE2).

That morning my wife and I were approaching a barn we'd not visited before. I saw the rider approaching and instinctively manually focused and clicked. You can tell the camera was not auto-focus 'cuz the image is slightly out of.

None the less this was the first time I shot a horse and rider and, I've always thought,
lucked out when the print looked like anything at all presentable.

5. It's still a very nice photo

The sunlight shining on the horse and rider as they emerge from the dark barn. The horse turning jauntily turning his head as if to say “If you’re gonna take a picture, this is my best side”!
